Grants and Loans

The chart below shows the percentage breakdown of student financial
aid awarded through grants and loans since 1991-92. The bulk of student
aid continues to be awarded through loans. But the percentage of
student aid in the form of loans fell for the third straight year and,
for the second straight year, the percentage of students receiving
grants—which include state, federal, and institutional pools of
money—increased slightly.
